Brutto: A (Simple) Florentine Cookbook

Brutto: A (Simple) Florentine Cookbook

.

Brutto ma buono - ugly but good. This is the food of Florence - rigorously simple, few ingredients, exceptionally good. Anchovy with cold butter and sourdough, penne with tomato and vodka, sausages with braised lentils and mustard, roasted squash with borlotti bean and salsa verde, country-style bread and tomato salad, 3-ingredient meringue hazelnut cookies...

The food of Florence rests on humble ingredients - not many - brought together in the rough-and-ready style of everyday cooking with flavour at its heart. Brutto's cookbook offers outstanding recipes from Russell Norman's acclaimed restaurant, Trattoria Brutto, alongside an ode to one of Italy's most beloved cities, Florence, and specifically the bohemian district of Santo Spirito.

Including Russell's captivating stories and insider advice, Brutto is a proudly fuss-free recipe book to use every day, wherever you are, and an joyous tribute to Italy's greatest rustic cuisine.
